I'm looking to improve load times for our application (and our site) and I think a CDN (like SimpleCDN or something) could be really helpful. For example, serve the js code from cdn.mydomain.com and run the RPC servlet from api.mydomain.com.
Has anyone tried using a CDN with GWT modules? I've heard that in javascript you can do something like document.domain = 'mydomain.com' and this would allow you to treat all subdomains of mydomain.com as the same domain with respect to the same- origin-policy. Would I be able to run document.domain='mydomain.com' in my onModuleLoad() using JSNI and gain the ability to access an RPC servlet at api.mydomain.com if the GWT code was served from cdn.mydomain.com ? Based on what I read in Issue 214 ( http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=214 ) the cross-site linker should also make this possible by using js files instead of an html iframe, so the js operates in the same domain as the host page instead of the domain of the *.cache.html file. However, the continued existence of the "std" linker seems to imply that there must be some drawback to using the cross-site linker. Any ideas what that disavantages of the cross-site linker might be? Thanks, Dobes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
